This Tough Mudder was one of the most awesome things I have ever done, especially to do it with such an amazing team of men and women!! I mean who doesn't like swimming in ice baths and getting electrocuted and having to run up and down ski slopes???? I am itching to do another one this summer!! Who else wants to join me!!??!

A month ago my dad got summoned for jury duty and I was bragging about how I hadn't been summoned in years... So of course the next day, what do I get in the mail??? Jury duty! 😂 Life is so funny!
Luckily I can do my job from anywhere! I totally scored on being the last group being called into the courtroom and had a couple hours to work from the waiting room (props to Shasta County for getting with the times and providing free WiFi!) and eavesdropping on the funniest conversations ever! Turned what could have been a boring waste of a day into a productive one, working with my team to help people live their best lives! Love my job!!!

Happy Humpday! Sometimes taking care of ourselves means letting go of certain things in our lives. Change can be hard, but it can also be necessary to be the people we want to be and live the life we want to live. Think about the things that you spend your time doing, the people that you spend your time with, your job, your habits. Are they having a positive effect on your life? If not, they may be things that you should stop focusing so much attention on. We only have so many minutes and days in this life and wasting them on negative things is literally just a waste of our time and our lives! Don't be afraid to let go! Embrace change and be excited about the positive direction your life is heading!

Hike #5 /52: Pinnacles National Park/ High Peaks Trail (9.73 miles)
I left Santa Clarita on Saturday around 5 am to meet up with my brother and his girlfriend at Pinnacles National Park. We opted to hike the High Peaks Loop trail as you can see everything on the park in this loop. The first three miles, I kept thinking in my head that I blew $80 on an annual national park pass for a park that looks awfully similar to the chaparral trails of SoCal. But then I saw that first Pinnacle rock formation and I was blown away by its shape and massive height. And then we went inside the balcony caves, which was pretty incredible. It’s a bit too crowded for my liking and there can be awful traffic jams on bottleneck sections of the cave. I’d say the highlight had to be the steep and narrow section of the high peaks loop. Beautiful section but inexperienced hikers jamming the stairway. There was a lady who was afraid of heights as she was descending and was bawling her eyes out. The situation frustrated me as she could have easily avoided this stretch of the trail. Despite this episode, I still managed to enjoy the views and witnessing the beautiful California Condor. Tl;dr Pinnacles took me by surprise and would love to go back again. #hiking#pinnacles#norcalhiking#52hikechallenge2018

Travel Tip Tuesday!! If you want to travel, make it happen! There is never going to be a perfect time! And traveling is one of those things that you will never regret and will leave you with memories that you will cherish for a lifetime. It took me four years to finally hike the PCT after I first decided that I wanted to. I got to the point where it was all I could think about and I knew if I didn't do it, I would regret it the rest of my life and think about it everyday. It required sacrifices. Saving money. Quitting my job. Taking a leap of faith. And it changed my life in the best way possible. If you have something you want to do or somewhere you want to go, figure out a way to make it happen. The world has enough dreamers. Be a doer.

Tasty Tuesday! This superfood protein drink is hands down the best and most important meal of my day. Not only does it taste like a milkshake, and not like grass or chalk, but it gives me all the energy, vitamins, and minerals I need for my day. I have a super crappy immune system and normally I get sick at least once a month. I just figured that is how my life was going to be forever. No matter how healthy I ate, how much vitamin C and cold medicine I popped, no matter how many times I washed my hands, I would consistently come down with something all the freaking time! Not the flu, where I was puking my guts up, cooped up in bed, just that crappy cold that makes every night hard to breathe when you're trying to sleep and makes every day a struggle to get through the day, blowing my nose every 10 minutes and trying not to sneeze on everyone I talked to. Since I started drinking this green goodness, I have yet to get a cold or flu, even through this insane winter where everyone I know came down with something, even being exposed to so many germs, handling people's beer mugs and being around little kids all day. I can't even express my gratitude for how awesome it is to wake up every day and feel amazing! .

Monday mornings...
✔coffee ✔journal ✔dreams
Life is precious. Don't waste another second of it not living your dream. If you don't know what your dream is, make a list of things you enjoy doing. And start doing them whenever you can. Find time to fit the things that make you feel alive into your life. This doesn't mean it will be easy. It doesn't mean there won't be sacrifices. But sacrificing your happiness is not ok. We only get one chance on this amazing planet, what are you going to do to make the most of it?

Self Love Sunday! Take care of your body and it will take care of you! I have a love/hate relationship with foam rolling! It hurts so good, but is so good for tight muscles! If you are working out and struggling with tight muscles and soreness, pick up a foam roller. Seriously, it will change your life! .

No better way to start off my Saturday than with a little Frosty Fun Run! After working til late last night and not getting much sleep, I was a little sleepy this morning when I woke up, but the instant my feet hit the pavement and my lungs started pumping, I got my groove and everything was good. No matter how my day is going, I always feel amazing after a run. Especially the kind where you come into the finish line using up every last ounce of strength you have! Get out and move today! You won't regret it!

Medicine Altar or "communicator rock" in the Trinity Alps of N. California. The Native Indigenous People of N. California rarely made treks on Mt. Shasta for prayer. They still use High Medicine Altars like the one shown to offer their prayers and medicine to the great mountain. The reason for this is simple. Mt. Shasta proper is the absolute power place, or communications satellite that sends their prayers and medicine out to the world and cosmos. The communicator rocks and high altars, ( and there are many of them in every mountain range) are the smaller power places that immediately send their words and medicine to the Great White Mountain, which in turn sends them out cosmic wide depending on where they need to go.The communicator rocks need direct.line of sight to the mountain.
It's the same if we offer medicine first to Great Father Sun with our arms out stretched up. The sun shines all over the earth so your words are sent everywhere in a very powerful way.

Happy Friyay!!!!I I am so thankful to have a job that allows my Friday mornings to start off like this... coffee ☕ the pup 🐶 and lounging around in my pjs 👍 at my house, helping other men and women become the healthiest and best versions of themselves🕺💪💃!! I remember a time when Friday mornings meant dragging myself out of bed, still hungover from Thirsty Thursday 🍻, and forcing myself to put on a fake happy face 🤥, to go sit at a computer all day 💻, working someone else's dream and waiting til the clock hit 5 ⏰ so I could go out and party away my worries and the hole I felt in my heart and abuse my body all over again 👎. I am so thankful for this life I have now and the opportunities that are flowing in. To be able to live my dream life and wake up every day feeling fulfilled and motivated to work instead of forcing myself to!
Don't settle for less than you want and deserve!! You can achieve happiness and your dream life too!!! And I can help you!! Message me and let's go grab coffee any time and talk about your dreams for your life!!!!

Why do I workout and take care of my body? Because these legs have taken me literally around the world to the most amazing places I could even imagine! These strong limbs allow me to see mountains, cities, and everything in between. They allow me to run anywhere I can see and dream about. And even better, they allow me to do things everyday that make me feel passionate and alive and a part of this amazing world. They allowed me to take a quick little run this afternoon up to the top of this peak that overlooks the valley floor for miles. They allowed me to run so hard my heart felt like it was going to pop out of my chest, I didn't think I could breathe any harder, and I didn't have a single thought in my mind besides making it to the top of the hill, all the constant chatter and distractions of life quieted. They allowed me to be inspired by creative thoughts as the endorphins from running excited my mind. They allowed me to feel peaceful as I sat on top of this mountain without another soul around. They allowed me to feel at one with nature. Take care of your body and it will take care of you.

Yreka California in 1865. Found this cool old photograph in one of our county buildings yesterday. The gold rush started about 1851 and Yreka in the Shasta Valley was a thriving lumber and gold miners town. Story goes some locals were tending a herd of cattle and noticed as the cows gnawed at the grass large nuggets of rock were hanging off the ends of the roots. GOLD. So much gold was found within 100 miles of Yreka in any direction, the need for everything a family might need necessitated a town like Yreka. Stagecoaches, mining tools, supply wagons, pack trains, stores and goods, banks and law enforcement, cemetaries, schools, churches, saloons, newspapers, etc. The county seat for Siskiyou County was founded here and most of the bridges that were built to cross all the canyons and rivers were authorized and built by local contractors.

Throwback Thursday! A few years ago I got that itch, that itch I am sure many of you have felt, that itch to travel. But I didn't want to go for just a few days. I wanted to go somewhere for a long time. I wanted to experience a different culture by actually living there. I wanted to see the world. That itch got so strong that I knew if I didn't scratch it, I would think about it every day for the rest of my life. But I wasn't rich. I didn't have the money to take a year off to go travel the world. But I didn't let that stop me. I found a way where I could teach English as a foreign language in another country. I figured I could go and make some money and travel on my free time. So I did it. I was scared. I didn't know anything about this new country I was going to. But I did it anyways. I quit my job, I packed my bags, and bought a one-way ticket to Thailand. My Dad drop me off at the airport with my two bags and the rest is history! My plan was to teach for 5 months and then travel on my weekends and holidays and then come home. I travelled like crazy on my weekends, and had the time of my life. But it turns out that other countries are not as expensive to live in as they are here and I was able to save a lot of money teaching, so by the time the 5 months was up, I had a decent little savings build up and I decided to keep traveling. I spent another 5 months running around Thailand and Malaysia at my leisure. I volunteered making mud brick houses, working in organic gardens, and working at resorts. I learned how to meditate. I met people from every country in the world. I ran on hundreds of beaches and swam in the warmest waters. I climb the tallest mountains. And I sat in countless temples. I learned how to go with the flow. I stopped planning and started doing. And I had the most amazing time. I learned how to be happy on my own. I learned that there are a million ways to live your life. Living in Thailand changed my life forever and it taught me that I can do whatever I want with my life, that there are no limits besides what I put in my mind. Whatever you are passionate about, go do it! The world is yours, you just have to reach out and grab it!

When you show up to your girlfriends house for GAL-entines Day Dinner and she had prepared a not only healthy, but gourmet meal! So thankful for these amazing women that I have in my life to share friendship, love, trust, food, and life with! Find your tribe and love them well! And love yourself! And love your life! You only get one! Happy love day!

What is your Why? Why do you wake up every day? What motivates you to get up out of bed every morning? What are you so ridiculously passionate about? What would you do even if you didn't get paid to do it? What do you love? What is your "Why" for living?
I have a lot of why's, but two things I love are being outdoors in nature and running. These things make me feel like a superhero, they make me feel invincible, they make me creative, they complete me! They make me feel passionate about life and make me feel alive! These are two of the reasons why I wake up everyday and jump out of bed and am excited to live! I will never stop running or exploring this beautiful world that we live in!
Figure out what your why is. And start doing it every day. Whether you get paid to do it or not. Whether it's for 5 minutes or an hour a day. Whatever it is that makes you feel alive, make sure you do it everyday and your life will always be complete. What is your why?

Phase 1 is done! I'm 4 weeks into this program and although the results might not look like much, I feel 8 million times stronger. My legs are getting stronger and making me a faster runner, my arms are getting stronger, I'm not struggling with pushups anymore, my core is getting stronger, I can hold plank for days, and I'm getting way more flexible, I can do all kinds of yoga stuff I couldn't do a month ago.
But the best part is, I just feel good. I have struggled with digestion issues for years ever since I had a colon infection from some bad food in Mexico when I was 18, that landed me in a hospital in St. Louis for a week after I literally couldn't catch my connecting flight on our way back into the country, because I couldn't walk and they had to ambulance me to the hospital. Ever since then, I have had the worst issues with food digestion and it has been an almost daily occurrence to have my stomach turning in knots after eating to the point where I would have to skip meals if I was going out with friends so that I wouldn't have to go home sick. But this new nutrition plan has finally got my body on track with what I'm supposed to be eating to not abuse my body!!!!!! I feel great all day, I have energy, and my stomach issues have completely disappeared! It is seriously the best feeling ever! I thought suffering through these issues would last forever and I'm so thankful to have finally found a solution!
You don't have to accept things the way they are, you can change anything in your life with the right tools! If you're ready to stop making excuses and stop feeling like crap everyday, do something about it! I want to help you feel the best you possibly can! I have a new challenge group starting next week and if you're ready to make this change towards a new you, send me a message! Life is too short to suffer another day!

I am looking for a VERY specific woman 💃 to help and mentor... she is the “OLD ME”... she is the woman who is looking for a side hustle to replace her full time income one day. She is a business woman, doesn’t matter if she’s a personal trainer or stay at home momentrepreneur or wears a dress and heels 👠 and goes to the office everyday… she just has a job and she WORKS HARD already! 🤸‍♂️🏃‍♀️She is that woman who hits spin class or exercises on her lunch break, who run marathons and half marathons on her weekends, and totally kicks ass at what she does… she may or may not have kiddos or fur babies! ❤️However... she is like I used to be... and there is still one thing missing in her life... ☝️ ... that sense of purpose in this world and is dreaming of something more... that LASTING impact she can have on the world! ... ♀️Not only does she dream of something more, she also loves to get outside and hike and be super independent and self sustaining!!!... That’s just who we are by nature!
You may call her the “free soul” or the “babe boss” or the “future designer of her own life” or the “eventual corporate runaway” because I will mentor and show her how to make all of those things possible and exactly how I am doing it!
If you find this person... or if you ARE this person... please reach out to me... to see first hand what it takes and make an educated decision whether this could be the path for you! (It’s a zero pressure... I just want to give all the info and be super open and honest about the hard work it takes and let the BABEBOSS out there make the best decision for herself!)

I so struggle with being flexible. I have arthritis in my lower back from years of working as a seasonal firefighter when I was younger and not knowing how to lift and carry heavy loads properly and a lot of times I compensate with using my upper back to do things because of it. I am working on not only making my core stronger to protect my lower back, but also on becoming more flexible, especially in my hip flexors. I have a long ways to go and probably will never be able to do a lot of yoga moves, but that doesn't mean I can't work on it and improve a little every day! No one's perfect, you don't have to be to still work on the stuff you struggle with! It's all about progress, not perfection!.

Spend one minute today writing down things that you are thankful for. Do it again tomorrow. Do it again the next day. Do it everyday. Be thankful. Be happy. It's your choice. All it takes is one minute per day.
